SanDisk memory cards read/write speed change

Why do some Extreme III and IV cards have different read and write speed, also, what is the difference between SDCFX3-4096 and SDCFX3-004G?

SanDisk has recently increased the speed of the Ultra II, Extreme III, and Extreme IV memory cards.

Old Speed

New Speed

Ultra II

10MB/s

15MB/s

Extreme III

20MB/s

30MB/s

Extreme IV

40MB/s

45MB/s


The following is a sample list of cards that have had a speed bump and what the new product code will look like compared to the old product number. The only change will be the capacity portion of the code.
